Depending on your plan, you will be credited a fixed number of Boxes and items (“Products”) to use at the beginning of each billing cycle. The subscription for Membership (defined below) includes the delivery, returns and maintenance related to the upkeep of the item but does not cover any cost related to the damage, loss or theft of the item. You are liable for additional charges necessary to compensate StyleTheory for the loss of use and cost of the item. 

ELIGIBILITY

By using our Services and thus agreeing to these Terms, you represent that you are 18 years or older and that you are authorized to use the chosen payment method (including, without limitation, credit cards) for the purpose of renting the Products as described in these Terms.

We reserve the right to limit, cancel or prohibit any person from Membership.

MODIFICATION OF THE SERVICES OR THE TERMS

StyleTheory may modify these Terms or modify, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time for any reason. However, StyleTheory will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of material changes to these Terms by posting a notice on the Site, App and/or sending an email to the email address you provided to StyleTheory upon registration. You agree to check the notice and your continued usage of our Services after the posting of notice will signify your acceptance of the changes.

GENERAL CONDITIONS

OWNERSHIP

You agree that the Products belong to StyleTheory. When you rent the Products through one of our Services, unless you have purchased the Products through our Services, you do not have ownership and StyleTheory does not renounce its ownership of the Products. You only have the right to the possession and use of the rented Products upon and limited by these Terms. 

LIMITS 

You acknowledge and agree that we may place limits on the rental of Products, including but not limited to restricting orders placed under a single customer account, payment card or billing or shipping address. 

DELIVERY AND COLLECTIONS. 

All deliveries and collections will be through StyleTheory's shipping partners, which may change from time to time at StyleTheory's discretion. The shipping method used will be at the discretion of StyleTheory. We will provide you with information about estimated delivery and arrival times of Products through the Site and/or App. The Products we send to you will be professionally cleaned and delivered ready to wear. Our dry cleaning partner professionally cleans, sterilizes and inspects each Product we send to you, but use of the Products is at your own risk and StyleTheory or our dry cleaning partner shall not be held liable for any health-related complaints associated with any Product.

If you do not pay the amounts you owe to StyleTheory when due, we reserve the right to withhold any new deliveries of clothes and will institute collection procedures. You agree to pay StyleTheory's costs of collection, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees.

RETURN PACKAGING 

With delivery of the Product, StyleTheory will provide you with a pre-paid, pre-addressed StyleTheory carrying box, garment bag or mailing envelope (as the case may be) as well as instructions for your use in returning the Products to StyleTheory (“Return Packaging”). The StyleTheory Return Packaging is not yours to keep. 

RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCTS 

Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is highly recommended. In the event that an un-secure shipping address is provided, StyleTheory does not bear liability for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which StyleTheory will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees.

LOST RETURN LABEL 

If you lose the Return Label, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense, and providing StyleTheory with a tracking number. Also, if you lose or fail to return the Return Packaging you will be charged a reasonable fee that is subject to StyleTheory discretion.

CANCELLATION POLICY 

You may cancel your rental order latest by one (1) day in advance before the delivery date. We may increase the minimum days for cancelation based on logistics and shipment issues.  

RETURNS

With each shipment of Products we send you, we will include one Return Packaging , which you must use to return some or all of the Products you currently have. 

DELIVERY

We reserve the right to withhold the delivery of a new Box if there is any reason to suspect a breach of the Terms. This is inclusive but not limited to instances of payment issues, unsatisfactory condition of Products received from prior rents or other unresolved disputes.

REQUEST TO RETURN PRODUCTS

StyleTheory reserves the right to request for Products to be returned to us at any point in time. Failure to receive items on time will give us the right to charge for the items up to the full retail price and take other action as per the “Non-Return” section below. You will not be entitled to any refund of subscription fees. This section is only applicable in exceptional situations, and generally not applicable to apparel Products. For bag Products, it is generally only applicable after 2 months of your use.

USE OF PRODUCT 

You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. You agree to inform us of the chronology of any loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear.

In the case of loss or destruction due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire or any other cause, StyleTheory may ask you to provide a police report with the complete chronology of the incident, or charge you the price for replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the Retail Value for the Product.

If any Product is lost due to your negligence, reckless handling or without satisfactory explanation from you, StyleTheory may charge you an additional fee (for apparel Product) not more than 3x of your rental fee, or HK$1000 for each such apparel Product, whichever is higher, and up to the Retail Value of the Product; and (for bag Product), for its Retail Value. The above is without prejudice to StyleTheory’s right to make a police report for civil and/or criminal action or complaint, if such a situation happens in our reasonable opinion.

NON-RETURN AND CLAIMS  

Notwithstanding the Late Fee section, StyleTheory always maintains ownership of the Products, and you are still required by these Terms as binding contract between you and StyleTheory to return the Products pursuant to the Terms. 

As soon as you have passed the scheduled return period, you may not continue to keep Products you have already received, and you must return to StyleTheory all rented Products including its parts, on or before the last day of the applicable rental period.

The above is without prejudice to StyleTheory’s right to (1) require you to pay for the Replacement Value of the Product within a deadline and upon which StyleTheory may consider the Product as sold to you and/or (2) engage any recovery agent and/or commence any legal action against you for sum due, our loss, and the return of the Products and/or (3) conclude in our sole discretion that you have dishonest belief and do not intend to return the Product, which allows us to file a police report of theft or fraud as the case maybe, and seek assistance from Police authority. You agree that StyleTheory may enforce its rights in one or combination of the options above without waiving its rights, and you shall indemnify StyleTheory’s losses and costs on an indemnity basis. 

The actions available to StyleTheory under this Section extend to other breach of the Terms by you, including damage, failure to pay fees or otherwise resulting in a loss to StyleTheory.

CORRECT PRODUCT 

Subject to availability, we will deliver the Products you ordered, including the specified size, color and design, on or before the delivery date for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that the Product is damaged beyond repair or there is an occurrence subsequent to the placing of the order that prevents timely delivery. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you that the Product is unavailable. If we are able to reach you, you will be entitled to choose any available rental Product to replace the unavailable Product. If we are unable to reach you, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you a replacement product of the same or greater value. Products may appear different in color and style than as displayed on the Site and/or App.

Boxes that are not used by the end of the billing cycle will roll over into the subsequent month upon successful payment of the next billing cycle. A maximum of 10 apparel Boxes or 5 bag Boxes can be rolled over at any one time.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

LIMITED WARRANTIES

The limited warranties set out here for return apply only to you and may not be assigned, sold or transferred to any third party. No other warranties are granted by StyleTheory in connection with the Services or Products. The limited warranties shall not apply to any matters arising from your violation of these Terms.

Your sole and exclusive remedy and StyleTheory's sole and exclusive liability for a breach by StyleTheory of the limited warranties set out in herein shall be, at StyleTheory option, StyleTheory use of its commercially reasonable efforts to replace the non-conforming Product in a timely manner.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTIES SET OUT HEREIN, THE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS, ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, QUALITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE. SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, STYLETHEORY DOES NOT WARRANT THAT: (I) THE SERVICES, INCLUDING THE STYLETHEORY CONTENT, ARE CORRECT, ACCURATE, RELIABLE OR COMPLETE; (II) THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE; (III) DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, (IV) THE SERVICES OR THE SERVER(S) THAT MAKES THE SERVICES AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR (V) THE PRODUCTS WILL BE FIT FOR YOUR INTENDED PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE ACCORD WITH YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER SHALL BE AS SET FORTH HEREIN OR TO DISCONTINUE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES AND TERMINATE THESE TERMS.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

INFORMAL PROCESS FIRST

You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and StyleTheory, you will first contact StyleTheory and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

After the informal process, any unresolved dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of StyleTheory's Services and/or Products, or relating in any way to StyleTheory's communications with you, will be submitted to the Hong Kong Courts with exclusive jurisdiction to adjudicate. 

However, the above does not limit any Claim by StyleTheory for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Services that (including the Site and/or App) that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms, or resulting in infringement in jurisdictions outside Hong Kong, then StyleTheory has sole discretion and option to commence action in such other jurisdictions, or proper venue, or means, directly against you to protect its interest and you irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which you may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Terms, and you hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.  

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Whilst Hong Kong does not operate Class Action, you understand that StyleTheory has multi-jurisdictional business and you expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. Class Action broadly means any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). You agree and understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, the dispute resolution process above.

MISCELLANEOUS

JURISDICTIONAL ISSUES. 

StyleTheory makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use outside Hong Kong. Those who choose to access the Services or any part thereof from outside Hong Kong do so at their own risk and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. The Services may contain references or cross references to products or services that are not available or approved by the appropriate regulatory authorities in your country. Such references do not imply that StyleTheory intends to announce or make available such products or services to the general public, or in your country. Contact StyleTheory at hello@StyleTheory.co to determine which products and services may be available to you.

EXPORT LAWS. 

The laws of Hong Kong prohibit the export of certain software and data to particular persons, territories, and foreign states. You agree not to export the Services, including the StyleTheory Content, or any part thereof, in any way, in violation of Hong Kong law.

GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. 

These Terms are governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of Hong Kong, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and StyleTheory relating to the subject matter herein and shall not be modified except by StyleTheory in accordance with these Terms, or as otherwise agreed in writing by you and StyleTheory. No employee, agent or other representative of StyleTheory has any authority to bind StyleTheory with respect to any statement, representation, warranty or other expression not specifically set forth in these Terms.

SEVERABILITY AND WAIVER. 

If any part of these terms is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The failure of a party to require performance of any provision will not affect such party’s right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms or any provision of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself.

ASSIGNMENT. 

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or obligations under these Terms. StyleTheory may assign these Terms at any time without notice to you.

FORCE MAJEURE. 

StyleTheory will not be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of these Terms on account of, any delay or failure to perform as required by these Terms as a result of any cause or condition beyond StyleTheory's reasonable control.
